Don't hold your breath. The people who think they own patriotism usually can't tell you anything they've done to pay for it.
I doubt I will get any reply to the simple question. Very often that is exactly the case.

The wave of children refugees are not trying to escape the border patrol. They are walking up to them and surrendering. (And there are less of them this month than the month before or the month before).

What would you have an armed National Guard do, exactly? Shoot nine year olds in cold blood?

And if so - the border patrol could already be doing that so the National Guard is unnecessary.

Why the constant reference to nine year olds? From what I have read most of these so-called kids are much older than that and many of them are adult men and gang bangers. I am not a fan of violence however unless it is in self-defense.

Stop with the children bit, most of these people are 16 or older, and a great deal of the are members of M-S-13..We are not going to open this nation to the hordes of the 3rd world just to be saved from being called names.

They are to turn them back.

Yes I know, we have to pervent them from entering this nation to begin with, a fence would do that.

No one wants that, and your idea that would just proves how out of touch your leftist are.

Today I see many Democrats who seem to want to redesign America in such a way as to make it unrecognizable to prior generations. They seem to have animosity toward, even hatred of, the way the country is.

It seems the left has become more anti-American over the last few years. How do you feel?

Tell that to the members of the military who are Democrats.

I'm a combat vet and a liberal.

I love it when somebody questions the patriotism of roughly half the country without a modicum of facts. It seems to happen a lot in C-D.

Liberals love this country just as much as you or any conservative, Emigrations. You need to get out more and actually talk to people.

If you think all of the people coming across the border are harmless *children,* I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

Well, listening to Rush has it's consequences. One being the lack of initiative to think for one's self. Too many of us here end up debating the likes of Limbaugh and other notorious gas bags of the right to no avail, people who fail to think are always ready to follow.

Far too many liberals are ok with the illegal invasion of our country. How does that equate to love of this country especially if they served in our military and sworn to protect it from harm both foreign and domestic?
